Who can benefit from online training?

Having a virtual personal trainer is useful for many situations. It is a convenient and less expensive option for training, particularly for:

Professionals who travel and don’t have access to a gym: Training in your hotel room may be your only option. Being creative and working out with purpose can be challenging to do without help.

People who want to train, but are uncomfortable in a gym: Gyms can be intimidating. Working out at home is a safe and judgment free place.

Stay-at-home moms: You may not want to take your children to daycare to be able to work out, and your schedule varies day-to-day. You can exercise at home during nap time, or when the kids are watching their favorite show.

Workout groups: You want to exercise with friends, but you need help setting up stations of exercises that would benefit everyone.

What you get with my online training:

Member Benefits:

Customized workout plan: I will outline your plan in detail and email it to you so you can view it on your computer or laptop or you can print it.

Nutritional Guidance: Based on your profile and goal, your nutrition plan will outline your daily targeted caloric intake and macro-nutrient breakdown.

Nutrition plan with food log: We will get you set up on MyFitnessPal so you can log your daily intake and keep track of your macro-nutrients.

Fitness trackers: With my guidance, you will privately keep track of your measurements and personal health calculations (BMI, BMR). We will keep track of your progress.

Access to me: I’m available via text or email if you have any questions, changes or concerns to discuss.

One Hour Skype per month: This is when you and I will meet to discuss your training.

Why Hire Me?

Many trainers now offer online training, so why choose me?

Communication and personalization: We will be in touch with each other at least once a week to see how you are doing. Your workouts are written just for you and will progress as you do.

Encouragement and accountability: I will always be glad to hear from you and will encourage you along your journey. I expect you to work hard and will praise you for that hard work, but I don’t accept excuses and won’t let you get away with them.

Commitment: I know you are putting your trust in me. I take that seriously and will be committed to helping you reach your goal.

Lead by example: Fitness and living a healthy lifestyle is my passion. My enthusiasm and realism will rub off on you.

Track your progress: I will have access to your nutritional entries. It will be in black and white for us both to see which will help keep you on track and accountable.

What to Expect

Below is an explanation of how we start your program:

1) We will talk and discuss:

Your goals, abilities, and limitations.
Your schedule and exercise frequency.
The equipment that you have and/or need.

2) We will get you set up by:

Getting your PayPal payments set up online.
Have you fill out two forms – A fitness assessment and a health questionnaire. You will need to complete these and email them back to me.
A liability release form that you will need to read and accept.

3) Setting your start info:

I ask that you send me a before photo – front, side and back views.
Let’s also log your beginning measurements. I will send you a form for this that you can email back to me.

4) After your entries and forms are completed, you can get started with your workouts:

I will email you workouts for the entire month. I welcome any questions you have as you are getting started. Please don’t hesitate to email or text me with any questions. If we need to speak to clarify anything, we will set up a time to do that.

5) You will be responsible to contact me via email on a weekly basis to report how you are feeling:

I always look forward to hearing from you! We are in this journey together!

Let’s get started on your journey together:

My goal is to get you to your goal. We will work together to get this done! If you have any questions about the plan that I send you, we should discuss it before you get started. I understand that there are some exercises that you will like and some that you will not. Getting through the ones that you don’t like takes mental toughness and that is the added benefit of sticking to the program. Take this mental toughness and apply it to your life in general. Starting a program is difficult. Sticking to it is even harder. You have my ultimate respect for taking on this personal challenge. You will be proud of yourself for starting and sticking with this. I will be proud of you too!

You will have online tools and trackers available to you to help you determine your goal and track your progress.

Free Calculators

An ideal BMI is between 18.5 and 24.9, so your ideal weight is calculated by what weights will put you in the correct BMI range.	This will calculate the resting target heart rate of anyone based on age.	Use this alcohol calorie calculator to quickly determine how many calories a week your drinks add up to. The number of calories in most alcoholic drinks comes as a surprise to many. Alcoholic drinks are often mistaken as calorie-free, and excessive consumption of alcoholic drinks can lead to rapid weight gain.
Calculating Body Mass Index is useful for determining the amount of body fat that you may have.	This calculator will determine how many pounds you need to lose and how many calories you need to burn in order to lose those pounds.
This will calculate how many calories you need each day based on your height, weight, age, gender, and activity level.	Women should attempt to maintain a WHR of less than 0.8 Men should attempt to maintain a WHR of less than 0.9 These measurements may be more important than BMI, but should be considered along with BMI.
Using a calorie calculator is a great way to show the hundreds of calories burned through a simple workout, and those numbers will directly lead to a feeling of accomplishment and progress.	This is a quick and easy tool to give you the statistics that you need so you can make your workouts more effective and healthy.

I have had chronic back pain since I injured my back years ago. I have seen numerous chiropractors, to no avail. My wife was working out with Whitney, so I asked her what she thought about my back, and she immediately recommended strengthening my core. Instead of simply putting a muscle building plan together, Whitney suggested a comprehensive stretching program to stretch not only my back but my glutes, hamstrings and all muscles that are ultimately connected to the lower back. After stretching and working out with Whitney for just a few weeks, my back strength now allows me to bend over without feeling that nagging twinge or stab. Thank you Whitney!
